[Dablio] now needed a case for his new console. He had originally planned to mount the whole thing in an Atari controller like this commercial product. Serendipity intervened and he realized the entire system (sans cartridge port) fit inside a plastic tube of m&m minis.

Currently, [Dablio] has two ports on his ‘Atari tube of m&ms’ – the largest is the cartridge slot, and a small VGA port sits in the lid of the tube. This VGA port carries the power supply, controller, sound and video signals to and from the console.

[Dablio] sent in a bunch of pictures of his build which are in a gallery after the break. Now for the million-dollar question: anybody know where to buy one of these Dynacom MegaBoys?

Very cool, but I think he’s still shy of being the world’s smallest. About a year and a half ago I found an entire Atari 2600 on a keychain.

It’s an Atari 2600 on a chip, mounted in a miniature joystick. Came with several built in games and played pretty well. You used it together with a little box that housed AAA batteries, but all the rest of the components are housed within the joystick itself.

I like it. Good on him for building it. Love the dead bug projects-less fluff and for me it is easier to make the metal image of the connections and interactions than some white paper. This plus synthcart could be a fun and portable option for gigs or jamming out (with earphones) on the bus :)
